It was a night like no other, five friends in the fartherst corner of the planetary system of Sekmundo 5. Kryst, Alle, Linne, Dym and Aund had just finished off the dig of the site of Dr. Okto Bheir.

After the dig, a festivity was to convene at the near shore of Tryp-ko-fys-to. There was a loud bang at end the site.

Security drones saw Dr. Okto Bheir sprawled like an Arakno droid.

1st Droid: Secure the area. This area is off limits. Comply and no punishment shall be put on.

2nd Droid: Move along, move along there is nothing to see here, investigation will be conducted thoroughly.

3rd Droid: You have 10 seconds to comply, or maximum prejudice punishment is imminent. No compliance means no compensation. Last warning. MOVE.

Sekmundo 5 is a independent mining colony which supports 3 planetary systems. If there are accidents in sequence all mining facility are to be suspended and those planets will be subjected to minimal gridlock of energy for a quarter of a cycle. This accident was the final one.

Kryst: Shaznak, third one already after three moon cycles. Sylla 2 will have its power cut off. I cant come home to that beauty for 3 cycles. Those sec drones investigate like a slow Turtle-bot. Can't we appeal a formal local investigation?

Alle: You do know, we will be subjugated with a med probe right.

Kryst:Better to have bacta syringe in my noggin than wait with you and the rest.

Linne: Thank you for your kind words Kryst, you are such a delight. Come here let kiss you with my second octopod fist and see that cyclopeian eye of yours and blown away while sucking your innards.

Kryst: Thank you and I love you too, when do i get to see those lovely octopods and see them with my brutal loving grips of this babies.

Alle: You may be onto something Kryst, if all of us do dare to appeal to supervisor Director maybe work can continue.

Dym: You all know what really happened, right?

Kryst: What did happened, or you assumed what happened?

Dym: Someone got to hold a sprawler needle gun and done the good Dr. Bheir.

Aund: Really, have you ever seen a Needle gun before my dear Dym?

Dym: Once when I got stationed at about 2 years back when I was in service for conscription before I got into a trouble and got my minimal sentence here in the colony with you lovely people.

Kryst: Assuming it was a sprawler, why of all gun it had to be that?

Dym: Then explain to me why the good Dr's head is splattered almost to smithereens?

Kryst: Assumption is a real murder when its not in order, any sec drones or service member knows the rule aint it Linne?

Linne: With all of these speculations and talk of such strings assumptive and assumptions, maybe Dym wanted a maximum penalizng sentence and did pull that, because he knows what killed the good Dr. Okto Bheir.

Dym: Hey, I resent that.

Alle: Regretfully denied and objected futility from your jargon Mr Dym. Confess and all is well or everyone will be so to speak " No work until further notice."

All eyes on Dym as if he did pull the trigger and called his assumption as the evidence.

Dym did serve at the "Unrest of Kenev" years ago. Knowingly how to apply pressure with all arsenal of weaponry. He can confess for the moment and give his comrades a hand, so at least the work here can be resumed and give them all the credit for turning him in.

But he knew he did not pull any trigger, yet assumed the weapon.

Dym: If I were the one, but in this case I am assuming only what was used, I know it incriminates me and you people see me work as a Pruvian ant.

He passed 2 microseconds and almost at the tip of that astrosecond.

Alle: You dont have to tell anything, work is work or no work at all. You do know the situation we are facing before this and after all that splat!

Kryst: Enough is enough, assumptions are only functional if the evidence is clear. We bunk the night see what the droids finds out and if it is a real needle gun. We are asking as friends, turn yourself in, or we all get fired anyway.

Aund: My dear Dym, it is all on you now. Do this right away or we wait for the inevitable.

Dym shuddered what would be the punishment for all this crap. All of his menial and misdeaminors had caught up to him. His mouth has done him in.

Disclaimer: Yes, if we assume to much of any situation and does not know when to quit, consquently we can be better not to assume or we speak in the truth or none not all. How can all of us presume to assume without no hard or physical evidence that can make us caged within our mouths.
